Hi,
I have posted 2 photos on our Form 5 outing ... see the happy faces on us before we ventured into the larger society to face the reality of life!
One photo (of the smaller group) is on the "Kampong Dog" gang members headed by Tommy Siew (who was not in that picture). The core members were Tommy Siew, Sim Kang Loon, Chang Kon Sang (ie myself. Hubert Hiew, Chung Tze Ting & Pang Mui Poh (correct spelling?).
The other gang is the "Ming Sing" (Movie Star) gang, some members whom you see in the other photo. As pointed out in Edward Chik/ Robert Fu posting, the Ming Sing gang members (ie including Edward and Robert) were the most sought after guys in town at that time.... still remember that Robert Fu had his much envied girl friend, Bernadette Kan, during his Form 5 days!
Of course, Hubert Hiew had the look of the Ming Sing gang and Tommy Siew always asked him to leave the Kampong Dog gang as he looked too handsome to be a gang member, Tommy was less harsh on Chung Tze Ting who equally possessed good look!
From the photo of the larger group, spot Tommy Siew (above Robert Fu and Ho Chi Min)? I was above Sim Kang loon and Edward Chik!. Some did not belong to either gang like Francis Fong, Camillo Cheng, Koh Chiat Hong, Kwan Kar Choi, Chong Vun Hing etc
Was the teacher Mr Zakaria ..... The Biology Teacher?
Was the roundabout the one on the way to the Sandakan Airport?
Regards
Kon Sang ( Clement)

My goodness, had it not been for Clement's posting, I wouldn't have remembered these funny gangs. Was it not SAPI gang rather than Kampong Dog gang? I can't remember of all places why we were at the roundabout on the way to the airport, celebrating what? (looks like some sort of Merdeka celebration). But then life in those days was much simpler. I remember we used to enjoy just walking around the town centre especially when there was an event going on - to see and be seen (as Goldfinger put it if I remember correctly)! Those were the days my friends!
Regards, Hubert
Hi Hubert,
First, are we the two active on the blog?
Yes, our gang was called "Sapi Dog" gang in Hakka. Just had lunch with Tommy Siew today (5 June Thursday). His PC was down and he could not access the blog. He is going to China again on 10 June.
Another famous Goldfinger quote - " You - murderer of the English Language!"
Yes, when St Michael or St Cecilia schools were selling (paper) flowers for their school building funds, we would be walking aimlessly in town hoping to be approached ....
Clement
